HP: Embrace the Darkness

Early the next morning, Artes, Carter and others had breakfast and planned to take Carter with them to visit the Malfoy family after morning exercise.

Yes, Asseth was going to take them with him.

Because he suddenly remembered that since the Malfoy family were Death Eaters, there might be clues about Horcruxes in their family.

If he wanted to find clues, he would need someone to help him attract attention.

Elise is not suitable to appear in front of these nobles now, and the best candidate is Carter.

At the dining table, Carter ate breakfast bitterly.

It was a bit unacceptable for Asseth to ask him to coax the child.

Merlin's stinky socks, he hates children the most, especially children from pure-blood families.

He is a pureblood himself, so he naturally knows how arrogant and annoying they are, not to mention they are from the Malfoy family.

When he thought of this, Carter felt that the breakfast in his mouth had no taste anymore and tasted like chewing wax.

The breakfast was spent with Ass's pleasure and Carter's torment.

After finishing the meal, Asseth stood up first and looked down at Carter and Elise on the dining table.

"Stop being so grim, let's go and let me see what progress you have made during this time."

After hearing what Artes said, the two couldn't help but touch the arm holding the wand, watching Artes eager to try.

Then they got up one after another, followed behind Ass, and walked to the training ground.

In the training ground, the three of Asseth stood facing each other.

"I'm one on two, is there any problem?"

As Asseth said, he took off his coat and hung it up, loosened the sleeves of his arms slightly to avoid affecting his movements, and then pulled out his wand and pointed it at the two of them.

Carter and Elise looked at each other, and also drew their wands and pointed them at Asseth.

"no problem."

As soon as he finished speaking, Asseth immediately threw Carter and passed him unconscious.

The spell is very fast, and it is still a silent spell.

Carter didn't react until the curse flew into his face.

Damn it, it's too late.

Carter looked at the curse so close, feeling a little reluctant.

"Clear spring is like water."

A crisp voice sounded from the side, and Elise reacted quickly and cast a spell on Carter.

The water jet from his teammates staggered Carter, just in time to escape Arthur's curse.

Ace's eyes lit up, his reactions were quick, and his response methods were flexible.

But it's not enough.

Aces waved the magic spell again, and rushed at Carter, who had just stood firm, and Elise, who was ready to attack, with several silent spells.

"Elise, don't be defensive or have any worries. You are facing your opponent now."

Asseth scolded Elise who couldn't let go.

Hearing this, Elise, who was originally restrained, hesitated for a moment, and then relied on her keen senses to avoid the flying spell.

She can't do silent spells yet, but after this period of training, she has become proficient in the spells and can cast them instantly.

A binding spell flew towards Asseth quickly. Asses turned sideways and the spell missed him.

Carter's counterattacks followed on the other side, using the same sleeping spell as Asseth.

Unfortunately, Asseth blocked it with the Iron Armor Curse.

In this way, after several back and forth, Asseth was still able to do it with ease, but Carter and Elise's magic power was exhausted by Asseth.

They slumped to the ground, breathing heavily.

"No, no, are you really a first-year wizard?"

Carter lay on the ground in despair, wailing at Asseth.

Aces stood beside them, looking at the two imageless people underground with a clear mind.

"The real deal."

"You are such a monster."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Aces accepted his compliments well and was in the mood to kick him twice.

"Get up and talk about your problems."

Elise had always been very obedient to Asseth's words. She had already stood up before Asseth had finished speaking.

Asseth changed a chair for himself and sat down comfortably.

Seeing that Elise was still standing steadily, she lowered her hand holding the wand.

Carter's movements were not slow, but he stood up crookedly, as if he was about to fall down in the next second.

Asseth gave him a disgusted look, not as good as Elise.

He waved his wand, conjuring two chairs and placing them behind them.

After they all sat down, Asseth spoke slowly.

"Elise performed well this time, and her initial response was correct and timely."

"Including the speed of counterattack and the speed of casting spells are all remarkable."

"but."

Asseth paused and looked at Elise seriously.

"You made a terrible mistake when you started showing mercy."

"If you want revenge, then throw away your so-called weakness. I will not be the one you face in the future, and I will not show mercy to you."

Asseth's expression was serious and his words were stern.

Elise on the opposite side was criticized by him so much that she could not lift her head up. She lowered her head, clenched her fists, and promised to Asseth.

"I understand, sir, I won't do it next time."

Seeing this, Asseth was reluctantly satisfied and turned to look at Carter beside him.

At this time, Carter's eyes were bright and he looked at Asseth expectantly.

Aces turned his head away, not wanting to see him embarrassed, so he criticized him as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Don't look, your reaction was already slow from the beginning. You couldn't stand still after being knocked away by Elise's spell, and your counterattack wasn't fast enough. What? Wait for me to help you fight?"

Asses was merciless, criticizing Carter from beginning to end, and finally looked into Carter's eyes and said meaningfully.

"You have to know, after pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger for a long time, what's the difference between you and a pig?"

He snorted coldly and continued.

"Next time, don't let me find you pretending to be in front of me, just this once, never again."

Similarly, Carter, who was criticized, also lowered his head. When he raised his head again, the carelessness in his eyes receded and was replaced by seriousness.

"I see."

Seeing the two of them showing off their talents for the first time, Asseth was finally satisfied.

"Okay, then Elise will continue training, and Carter and I will take a trip."

This time, Carter no longer complained, but stood up neatly and picked up Ass' coat.

Artes naturally took the coat from Carter, put it on, turned and walked towards the entrance of the training ground, Carter followed him, and the two left the training ground one after the other.

After Asseth and Carter left, Elise was lost in the empty training ground for a long time, her eyes changing from blank to determined.

She tightened her grip on her wand, then waved it again.

Outside the training ground, there is a long corridor that leads directly to the main building.

The patter of footsteps echoed inside, and two figures shuttled between them.

Aces took Carter to the main building, and they went upstairs to change clothes separately.

Both of them grew up with aristocratic education, so there would be no disrespect in their clothing.

After changing their clothes, the two met at the door and headed to Malfoy Manor.
